On Sundays I try to schedule my week ahead. I meal plan, get the groceries, prep food and add tasks I want to get done for the week. My planner has an area for the top three things I want to accomplish each day, which I love. There’s also an area for more to-do. This is the area that I’m very bad at filling. I know that I have one hour between 8-6:30 to work on a project. I have one hour that I KNOW she won’t wake up and I don’t have Jeffrey to spend time with. Sometimes I get frustrated that I get so little done. I want to create more for this blog, write for other blogs, sew a quilt, paint, garden and plan for Disney all during that hour. Sometimes I sigh when I hear her stirring from her nap wishing I had ‘just five more minutes’. In the end, I don’t want those five more minutes. I want every single minute I have with her to play, explore, dance, giggle and learn! She is my work and play and I’m beyond lucky to spend my days with her. I must remember: don’t forget to play.
Create Play Learn
Create. Play. Learn. These three things are what I live for. What I want my days, weeks, years to look like. Yes, there will always be chores, tasks, jobs to do but let’s all create, play and learn more. Take time to do these more and your life will definitely be more fulfilling. What are you working on creating, playing or learning more of?
